Today I am talking about mindfulness and entrepreneurship with Lee Chaix McDonough. We have a great, in-depth conversation about what mindfulness is, the key aspects, why it’s important to us as entrepreneurs, and how we can practice mindfulness in our own lives.

She gives some great insights and I know that this episode will be really useful for you to listen in and then put into practice. As  Lee says, we don’t have to do everything and we don’t’ have to get it right all the time, but by starting off with a mindfulness practice even once a week can help us deal with some of the things that come with being an entrepreneur, like overwhelm and all of the ideas.

Lee Chaix McDonough is a coach, therapist, and founder of Caravel Coaching. After over a decade as a clinical social worker and public health professional, Lee entered the coaching field to help creatives and creative entrepreneurs create lives they love.
